ERP Software for Manufacturing Industry

Tally Solutions, December 13, 2021

Many small and medium-sized manufacturers now fall in the ambit of GST. Below are a couple of reasons.

  • The threshold of minimum turnover has reduced
  • GST impacts manufacturers in many ways. Unlike before, manufacturers too can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for many services in the GST regime.

It has become imperative for manufacturers to use GST-complaint software to manage their day-to-day business transactions. 

Below are a few of the key features of ERP Software for manufacturers:-

GST invoice

Manufacturers can generate GST compliant invoices with TallyPrime and also print them. The software captures all mandatory details as required by the GST Act.

GST-compliant TallyPrime has many more advantages. It has built-in functionality to detect, prompt and prevent errors that may take place when recording data. For example: While preparing bills based on the place of supply, TallyPrime will warn you in case you select incorrect tax type/s.

Handling reverse charge mechanism in GST software

For registered businesses, the reverse charge becomes applicable when goods or services are imported or when purchases are made from unregistered dealers. As a manufacturer, you need to apply a reverse charge on such transactions and generate self-invoices with TallyPrime.

Tally.ERP 9 Release 6 distinguishes such transactions and places them in appropriate fields in GST Returns for your convenience.

Handling advance payments in GST software

In the GST regime, if a business receives advance payment for a future sale, then it is liable to declare such transactions in Form GSTR-1. By using TallyPrime, these advance receipts automatically become visible in GSTR-1 forms. Manufacturers can also offset the advance amount against the sales, and the rest of the amount becomes visible as not adjusted in GST Returns.

Easy filing of GST returns using GST software

Manufacturers can generate GST Returns with TallyPrime easily and accurately. With built-in error detection & correction capabilities, it is easy to identify errors and rectify them before filing GST returns.

TallyPrime identifies transactions that have mismatches or incomplete information and helps manufacturers in correcting those transactions so that before filing Returns all such errors can be removed. This eventually saves a lot of time for manufacturers as it reduces chances of rejection from the GSTN portal while filing Returns.

TallyPrime also supports GSTR-3B which pertains to filing returns up to December 2017.

Handling raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods in ERP software for manufacturing industry

For manufacturing units, TallyPrime provides the capability to record the creation of raw materials; and their consumption into semi-finished goods and finished products. Manufacturers can easily segregate their stocks by creating stock groups and can see stock availability information group-wise in TallyPrime. Manufacturers can either use Stock Journal or Bill of Material vouchers to show consumption of raw materials and semi-finished goods into finished products. Segregation of stocks based on the quality check can be achieved using separate godowns as fresh, seconds or rejected stocks.

Multiple units of measurement as suited to manufacturers

If you are a manufacturer, then one of your most basic yet important needs is to be able to manage your inventory and stocks at different points in time with accurate details. Manufacturers can create multiple units or alternate units of measurements to handle their business needs. For example A bag of 50 kgs or a pack of 12 pieces based on their packaging behaviour. This helps in the easy management of products, i.e., at the time of production, packaging and dispatch.

As a manufacturer, you might have multiple godowns to stock, finished products, raw materials and semi-finished products. With TallyPrime you can easily manage stocks and their movement across locations. You can also track the status of your stocks lying at third party locations as part of Job Work.

With Tally.ERP 9, you also get the flexibility to evaluate the valuation of your stocks based on various methods such as FIFO, LIFO, Average, Standard and so on.

Manufacturers can see item-wise profitability to analyse their product lines and take informed decisions.

Cost centres in ERP software

Manufacturers can allocate their expenses to various cost centres in TallyPrime. They can use these cost centres for budgeting and also identify their employees as cost centres to tag any sales associated with them.

Data can be accessed securely and you can create or edit transactions remotely as well. TallyPrime also has features that enable you to share details over SMS.
